About this study
Official title: The Effects of High-, Moderate-, and Low-intensity Training on Muscle Strength and Functional Mobility of Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In this study, investigators tried to find a useful and safe way of training for the elderly population which can help this population to improve their fitness factors as fast as possible. investigators have tried to see if different intensity training has different effects on muscle strength and functional mobility of elderly women in different time points (4, 8, and 12 weeks). Investigators hypothesized that Higher intensity would be more effective to improve muscle strength and functional mobility at different time points. The participants were trained twice per week and each session contain 4 exercises ( leg press, leg extension, leg curl, and seated calf raises) and the data have been collected at the pre-test and 4th, 8th, and 12th weeks of intervention.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from Baseline in the Mean of 5 Time Sit to Stand Test at 4, 8, and 12 weeks
The timed that subject complete 5 times sit to stand recorded in second using a stop watch. The lower score is better
Measured: Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks
Change from Baseline in the Mean of the Timed Up and Go Test at 4, 8, and 12 weeks
The timed that subject complete the test recorded in second using a stop watch. The lower score is better
Measured: Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks
Change from Baseline in the Mean of the 6 Minutes Walking Test at 4, 8, and 12 weeks
The distance that subject walk in six minutes measured in centimetre. The higher score is better
Measured: Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change from Baseline in the Mean of 5 Time Sit to Stand Test at 4, 8, and 12 weeks (time frame: Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
